The men and women who created today’s liberal, democratic,
globalised world order may now have left public office, but they
have not retired. So, what are they doing, and how does it affect
the rest of us? Giles Edwards has interviewed more than twenty
former leaders, from Presidents overthrown in coups to winners of
Nobel Prizes. He has spent time at their clubs and resorts, spoken
to the people who work with them, and probed the organisations and
individuals who hire them. From running international organisations
to monitoring elections, consulting, lobbying and giving
hundred-thousand-dollar speeches, The Ex Men face a dazzling array
of opportunities after leaving office, many of them free from any
political accountability. But how much do they really achieve with
all that soft power? And does all this frantic activity amount to
anything more than money-making or legacy-burnishing? In this
illuminating investigation, Edwards takes us inside the hidden
world of The Ex Men to uncover the many ways in which they wield
power, for good and for ill.
